Sovereign Ground

By: Hilarey Johnson

It isn't like I dreamed I'd take off my clothes for money when I grew up, but life doesn't always happen the way you want. I was desperate when I walked into the Wild Lily. When I left, it was more than just a hundred dollars I'd gained. I had hope. But every time I think I'm in control—I'm not. Every time I think I have a friend—I don't. And now, the footsteps behind me are getting louder.

Book Description

Ever since Health and Welfare dumped Sparrow at her half brother's house, she's lived in fear of her grandfather's curse. When her sister-in-law decides to kick her out, Sparrow lies about her age and applies as busser in a strip club. After playing dress-up, the dancers nudge her onto stage.

The possibility of independence is fleeting. Within weeks, a stranger stabs one of the customers and strangles the dancer next to Sparrow. Helpless, she wakes in the arms of a police officer while the bar burns down.

Hayden, the Christian cop who rescues her might have ulterior motives. Do the footsteps near her window at night belong to him—or is her curse getting bolder?
